What were your experiences with Bitcoin when you first started?

[Dr.Osh]

first started using bitcoin, so many things I want to do, like playing a trading, investment and much more. but all that I start with playing faucet in freebitco.in. I began to collect bitcoin from the site and now I can play trading 

[Slark]

I was lured by bitcoin by the promise of fast profit and I thought that you can earn more money in bitcoin that you can actually earn from real life opportunities.
I learned hard way that if you want to earn either you have to get extremely lucky in risky investments or do it hard way by working your ass down.

Faucet is also my first thing that i tried with bitcoin then after some time i got to know this site then do some gambling from casino here.

i just entered into bitcoin through my brother... first i thought that i can learn something about new technology also can earn some money... but nor i used to collect bitcoins and started playing trading...

[BitcoinSupremo]

I found bitcoin in late 2014 when I lost my job and I thought and still think that this currency can chance my life. I started all sort of PTC-s , faucets like moonbit and alikes but was not making nice amount and was getting tired, then I found localbitcoins  after few months and bought a bit, conserving it still and buying and earning even now in my hopes it will skyrocket the price after few years and change my life. Yep, I am an idealist.

[1Referee]

I started purely to make profit with trading as the price was going up and down heavily. That was all I was caring about back then. After a year I started to get interested in the technology behind Bitcoin. Then I started to realize that Bitcoin is the change in the financial world we have been waiting for so long. We can finally be boss over our own money.

[RealPhotoshoper]

I would like to know what experiences did you had when you first started with Bitcoins. As for me, I had many that I would like to share with you.

When I began in the Bitcoin world, I was a complete rookie with no proper knowledge of how did mining worked or anything about cryptocurrencies. I just thought about Bitcoin as another payment processor like PayPal. But when I joined the BitcoinTalk community, I learned so many things along the way. In my process of learning in the first days, I decided to invest into cloud mining services. Since I didn't knew much about it, I invested a plenty amount of Bitcoins to start my journey into it. During that time, I had gotten into many different services. Those were GAW Miners, then Cointellect, cloudminr.io and finally Hashnest. After getting scammed many times by the services mentioned previously, (except for Hashnest) I have lost many Bitcoins. As a result, I decided to never invest into cloud mining and thus dedicate myself into learning more about the cryptocurrency and look for other ways to earn Bitcoins. It was then that I enrolled into the signature campaign that I am currently into and during all that time I began to earn Bitcoins as well as diversify my investments into different alt coins. Now I am dedicated to trading Bitcoins and other alt coins, as well as working for it (like the signature campaign and working as a freelancer) in order to earn coins and build up my portfolio along the way.

Anyways, what would be your experiences with this exciting cryptocurrency? 

that's better story than mine,i have started bitcoin on 2013,and i just follow some amateur step to earn bitcoin,at that time i just found faucet,looking for giveaway and some small task with small paid with bitcoin. so shame

[Rubberduckie]

mine started bad when I bought a 5 gb jalepeno from BFL for $200
and it took over a year to get it

I did end up getting .5 ish btc before I finally shut it down. But wasnt worth
the whole head ache and the wait thats for sure

[sotisoti]

I spent almost half day just to buy my first bitcoin in 2013. I didn't know about localbitcoins and there's no exchange that accepted fund from my bank account. I remembered I had to buy some Linden Dollars with PayPal (virtual currency in a game called Second Life) on virwox, then sold Linden Dollars for Bitcoin. Paypal bans accounts that deal with cryptocurrencies because in the past some scammers filed a chargeback after receiving Bitcoins and that's really a nightmare for the sellers. So I spent around $180 for a btc and the next day Bitcoin price soared to $220. Truly amazing..

[Genius Einstein]

Well when i first started bitcoin, i first got a wallet and then i started trying to find the best websites for earning bitcoins. I first started with sites but they pay was really bad so i tried faucets but that was really a time waste and i was getting no where and in the end i tried surveys but they were pretty useless so i asked my friends and they recommended this so i tried it out and it was the website with the best pay and that is how i started bitcoin.

[Indrawan77]

I have good experience when related to botcoin i was introduce to bitcoin in early 2015, my friend give me 0.1 bitcoin to spend, but he asked me to search what is bitcoin and how to spend the coin by myself

So i browsing in internet and find all the info about bitcoin

[btvGainer]

I got very excited when I first learnt about bitcoin.My first thought wascthat bitcoin could make me rich.I tried faucets and eventually arrived here only to realise it is not that easy to earn Bitcoin

Yeah, and when I started to earn bitcoin from campaigns it was a great feeling as you get paid on weekly basis and I was really happy to see my earnings from it.

[Jhanzo]

it was hard, confusing, frustrating, and time-wasting. that pretty much sums up my first few months in bitcoinland.
at first I used to go around hunting for faucets and referrals. after I got tired of faucets I moved to gambling and cloudmining and got scammed once. then comes the hyips and I got scammed again (I didn't know a thing about ponzi before this.).

now I just stick with low-risk investments including a little bit of trading and very little gambling.

exactly. at first you think you can gain a lot of money easily. but then you realize that we're too late for that. 

[Jeremycoin]

Faucet, Faucet, and Faucet. Those are what I did when I first started to earn Bitcoin, which definitely it's a waste of time.

[Ardenyham]

I started in a little different way than faucets, it was around 2012 and coinbase was just launched and they were giving 0.1 BTC for new members "was worth a little more than a dollar at the time", After that it was fun to learn about bitcoin and it's system... Did not invest in it though...

[bakingbad]

Faucet, Faucet, and Faucet. Those are what I did when I first started to earn Bitcoin, which definitely it's a waste of time.

the same for me, i remember using only faucets and trying to make a lot of money out of that so i did not earn anything good

i started earning good money only when i started trading my bitcoins with other cryptocurrencies such as ethereum

[randy8777]

i was too greedy at the very beginning as the price quite frequently was moving up and down with around 40-50% per month back then. but i have learned from all the mistakes i made at that time. and now i am making some decent profits.

[jak1]

when i started with bitcoin, i started with faucets and they pay very low just like 100 satoshi, and i have no alot of information about bitcoins, but when i joined Bitocintalk than i get more knowledge and information about bitcoins, and then i also know about Halving, before bitcointalk i don't know about halving what it is, but now i m perfect, and i know how to use bitcoins and also know how to get profit from bitcoins.
